Chapter one - Leaving Wisconsin

SONNY'S POV

I hummed happily as I packed my bags. I'd miss Wisconsin – a lot. But at the same time, I was finally going to be living my dream, moving to Hollywood and starring on my favorite TV show So Random.

I cleared everything out from under my bed, picking up a photograph that was lying face down. I turned it over and smiled.

It was of Chad and I, with our arms around each other, sitting up a tree the park where we'd carved 'Sonny and Chad forever' on the trunk, back when we were thirteen. It had taken us a long time. We didn't want it to fade. The photo had been taken shortly before he'd left Wisconsin … and me. He'd been my best friend ever since we were five in the same class at school. I'd seen someone bullying him and stealing his lunch so I hit them in the face. I laughed at the memory. I bet I was the first kid to ever get sent home on the first day of kindergarten.

My smile faded as I stared at the photograph. I missed him so much. It had been two years since he'd moved away to become a star. He had auditioned for a new TV series and received the leading role. I watched him every week on Mackenzie Falls.

It hurt sometimes when I thought about him. We'd lost contact so quickly, even though he'd promised we wouldn't. I doubt he even remembers that I exist. He was one of the biggest teen stars around now.

I stared at the photograph again, recalling the memory of when it had been taken.

'Chaddy!' I called, trying to the boy ahead of me. 'Wait for me!'

He stopped running, turning around and grinning at me. 'You're so slow,' he grumbled, but I knew he was only teasing me.

We were at our favorite park. We spent a lot of our time here.

He waited until I'd caught up and then he took my hand, swinging it as we walked.

'Are we going to our tree?' I asked him.

Chad nodded.

'Our tree' was our favorite place in the park. It was big, easy to climb and the branches hung low so it hid us from sight. No one else ever went there. It was our spot. On the rare occasion we'd caught people there, we'd scare them away.

We made it to the tree and climbed it, sitting on the strongest branch and dangling our legs down to the ground.

'I don't want you to go, Chaddy,' I pouted sorrowfully, resting my head on his shoulder.

'I'm going to miss you Sonshine,' Chad said sadly. 'But when I'm rich enough, I'll fly you to Hollywood and you can be a star with me.'

I laughed at the idea. 'Promise me, though?'

'Promise you what, Sonshine?' Chad asked.

'That we're always going to be best friends,' I replied solemnly.

Chad chuckled. 'Of course! Sonny and Chad, forever. Remember?'

I nodded and smiled.

Chad grinned and stuffed his hand into his pocket, pulling out a pocket knife.

'Why've you got that?' I asked.

He merely smiled and began carving something onto the trunk of the tree.

'What are you writing?'

'Sonny and Chad forever,' he replied softly.

We took it in turns to carve the four words. It took us a long time until it was deep enough for our liking.

'There,' he said, pleased with our handiwork. 'It's going to be there forever.'

'Sonny! Chad!' we heard someone call, interrupting our moment.

'Mom!' I called back, recognizing the voice.

She appeared at the bottom of the tree, looking up at us with a half-cross, half-amused expression on her face.

'What have I told you two about climbing that tree?' she said incredulously. 'It's dangerous! One of these days you're going to fall down and break your neck.'

'We've been climbing it since we were five Mom!' I told her. 'It hasn't happened yet.'

'Sorry Connie,' Chad said sheepishly.

I rolled my eyes at him.

'You were meant to be home by four,' Mom said sternly. 'It's half past!'

'Sorry, I left my watch at home,' I said. 'But Mom, look what we did!'

I pointed to the 'Sonny and Chad forever' engraved on the tree.

Mom rolled her eyes and took a camera out of her pocket. 'We need a photo of that,' she said. 'Smile, kids!'

Chad put his arm around me and we grinned as the flash went off.

I sighed heavily. Chad and I had lost contact in the first week of his departure, despite all our promises. I carefully slipped the photo into one of the boxes.

Mom came in. 'Have you nearly finished packing, sweetie?' she asked.

'Yeah,' I said, mustering a smile.

'Get some sleep, Sonny,' she told me. 'We have to get up early tomorrow.'

'Alright,' I agreed, as she kissed my cheek. 'Goodnight Mom. I love you.'

I slipped into bed, nerves and excitement bubbling in my stomach. Tomorrow … I would be in Hollywood.
